(I.e., symlinked to /var/tmp). I've typically been setting / to 96MB on 4.x systems. Then again, it doesn't really matter, because 96MB is barely anything nowadays (~0.1GB, or 1% of the smallest single SCSI drive you can buy new these days)... so you may as well go bigger and have room to grow. 128MB should be more than twice what you need until it's time to upgrade your hardware. I don't set it any larger than that because: a) I know I won't use it b) I want to avoid the temptation of putting extraneous crap on / Hope this helps, - Ryan > bash-2.04$ df -k > Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on > /dev/ad0s2a 49583 44564 1053 98% / > /dev/ad0s2f 2646093 1830324 604082 75% /usr > /dev/ad0s2e 19815 8212 10018 45% /var > procfs 4 4 0 100% /proc > > david > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message > -- Ryan Thompson <ryan@sasknow.com> Network Administrator, Accounts SaskNow Technologies - http://www.sasknow.com #106-380 3120 8th St E - Saskatoon, SK - S7H 0W2 Tel: 306-664-3600 Fax: 306-664-1161 Saskatoon Toll-Free: 877-727-5669 (877-SASKNOW) North America To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
